MindMeister shall nonetheless endeavor to keep MindMeister Web sites available without interruption. Events related to maintenance, security or capacity requirements, and/or events beyond MindMeister's control (e.g. disruptions in public communication networks, power failures etc.), may result in brief malfunctions or temporary interruptions of the services provided on MindMeister Web sites.

Right of cancellation for consumers

If a user is registered at MindMeister for a purpose that is not related to either his or her commercial or freelance activity, the following provisions apply to him or her as a consumer under the law (§13 German Civil Code):

Right of cancellation

The User may cancel registration for the Free and Paid Memberships in writing (e.g. by letter, fax or email) within two (2) weeks without stating a reason. The two-week period begins when membership is activated by MindMeister.

Furthermore, the User may cancel registration for the Paid Membership in writing (e.g. by post, fax or email) within two (2) weeks without stating a reason, after changing from Free Membership to a Paid Membership. The two-week period begins when Paid Membership is activated by MindMeister.

After receipt of the invoice the user can not cancel the current payment.

For meeting the cancellation deadline in each of the aforementioned cases, the date of dispatch of the cancellation notice is decisive. In each of the aforementioned cases, the cancellation notice should be sent by post to MeisterLabs GmbH, Zugspitzstrasse 2, 85591 Vaterstetten, Germany. The User may deliver notice of termination using the contact form available at all MindMeister Web sites, or by sending a fax or letter to MindMeister. The fax number and email address of MindMeister can be found at http://www.mindmeister.com/imprint.

The User's right of termination under section \"Termination of Membership, Reimbursement of Advance Payments\" shall not be affected by the User's cancellation right under this section.

Premature lapse of the right of cancellation

In accordance with §312d Par. 3 BGB (German Civil Code), the User's right of cancellation lapses before the end of the right of cancellation period cited in the previous section, in the following cases.
If MindMeister has begun performing the MindMeister services for which the User is registered with the express consent of the User, or
If the User has initiated the MindMeister services for which the User is registered (e.g. in which the User has accessed the MindMeister services that MindMeister has made available to the User in accordance with the type of Membership chosen by the User at registration).

Consequences of cancellation

In the event of a valid cancellation of a Paid Membership, both parties shall be obliged to restore any benefits already received in accordance with legal provisions, and issue any gains (e.g. interest). If the User is unable or partially unable to restore the benefits, or only able to restore them in poor condition, to MindMeister, then the User must reimburse MindMeister for the corresponding value. The User must fulfill obligations for reimbursement within 30 days after dispatch of the cancellation notice.

Obligations of the User

The User is obliged to refrain from using any pseudonyms or pen names.

Termination of Membership, Reimbursement of Advance Payments

The User may terminate the Free Membership at any time without cause. The User may deliver notice of termination using the contact form available on all MindMeister Web sites at any time. The termination notice shall include the User's registered name and an email address of the User registered on one of the MindMeister Web sites.
The User may terminate without cause the Paid Membership to the end of the minimum runtime chosen by the User in the course of the registration process, or to the end of any renewal period after said minimum runtime expires, by giving notice of fourteen (14) business days.

The termination notice shall include the registered name of the User and an email address of the User registered on the MindMeister Web sites. If the User has terminated the Paid Membership, the User is entitled to retain a Free Membership until such termination takes effect. The provisions of this section shall not affect the right of both parties to terminate the agreement for good cause.
A good cause is defined as an event which makes it unacceptable for MindMeister to continue the agreement to the end of the termination period, taking into account all circumstances of the individual case and weighing the interests of MindMeister against the User's. A good cause includes any the following events:
If the User fails to comply with any applicable legal provisions
If the User breaches a contractual obligation, in particular an obligation set forth in sections 3 and 5 of these Terms
If the reputation of the services offered on the MindMeister Web sites is substantially impaired by the online-presence of the User (if, for example, it is discovered after registration that the User has been convicted of a criminal offence, and if said conviction is known to other users);
If the User promotes any communities or associations (or any of their methods or activities) which are under surveillance by authorities responsible for public safety or the protection of minors, or;
If the User causes harm to any other user(s)
If the User is a member of a religious sect or a denomination that is controversial in Germany.
In the event of a good cause in accordance with this section and notwithstanding MindMeister's right to terminate the contract in accordance with this section, MindMeister is entitled to:
Delete the contents posted by the User
Issue a warning, or
Block the User's access to the services on the MindMeister Web sites.
In the following cases, the User shall not be entitled to claim reimbursement of any advance payments:
If MindMeister has terminated the contract for good cause pursuant to section 7,
If MindMeister has blocked the User's access in accordance with section 5, or
If the User has terminated the agreement. However, the User's right to claim reimbursement of any advance payments shall not be excluded in this case if the User has terminated the agreement for a good cause attributable to MindMeister.

MindMeister does not make any warranties or representations regarding any data and/or information provided or made available by any user on any of the MindMeister Web sites or on any external websites linked to them.

Liability of MindMeister

Whatever the legal grounds, liability for damage claims based only on ordinary negligence against MindMeister (including its vicarious agents) shall exist only if MindMeister breaches a basic/cardinal obligation under this agreement. In this event, the amount of claims are limited to typical and foreseeable damages.
Limits shall not apply to the extent damages are covered by MindMeister's business liability insurance, provided the insurance company has effected payment to MindMeister. MindMeister undertakes to maintain the insurance coverage existing at the time this agreement is concluded.
This shall not affect personal injury and property damage claims based on the German Product Liability Act.

Indemnity

All other rights, including damage claims by MindMeister, are hereby unaffected.
The aforementioned obligations shall not apply to the extent the User is not responsible for the infringement.
In the event the contents posted by the User infringes any rights of any third party, the User shall, at its own expense and at MindMeister's discretion, either obtain the right to use said contents or render said contents free of any infringement. In the event the User infringes third-party rights when using the services of MindMeister Web sites, the User shall discontinue such use that violates these Terms of Service and the law, if so requested by MindMeister.

Data Protection

Right to Contents

When the User posts his or her contribution to a forum, the User grants MindMeister an unlimited, irrevocable and assignable right of use for the respective contribution, which MindMeister is entitled to utilize for any purpose. In particular, MindMeister is entitled to keep said contribution on the forum, and on its Web sites and the Web sites of its partners, or use it for marketing the forum in any other way.
Consequently, MindMeister has a right of use over all contributions to discussion forums it operates. Duplication or the use of these contributions or their contents in other electronic or printed publications is prohibited without the express written consent of MindMeister. Copying, downloading, dissemination, distribution and storing of the contents of MindMeister and/or third parties, with the exception of the cache memory when searching for forum pages, is prohibited without its express consent.

MindMeister shall inform the User about the User's right to object and of the relevance of the objection deadline in said notice.
Unless otherwise stated in these Terms, the User may submit all notices to MindMeister using the contact form provided on each of the MindMeister Web sites, or by letter or fax. MindMeister may send notices to the User by email, fax or post to the addresses given in the User's current contact data in his or her user account.
If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason, invalid and/or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. The parties agree to replace an invalid and/or unenforceable provision with a valid and/or enforceable provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid and/or unenforceable provision. This also applies to contractual loopholes.
The place of performance under these Terms shall be MindMeister's main place of business.
Place of jurisdiction, insofar as legally admissible, shall be the main place of business of MindMeister.
These Terms and the contractual relationship shall be governed by German Law, excluding international private law and the provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods that have been adopted by German Law.
